Math.sin() is slow. Using a lookup table for sin/cos is roughly 50x faster. The loss of accuracy is minimal, maximum error is roughly 0,001. You can probably get away with it.

Thanks Riven, I used code based on this in libgdx. I found in practice that it is important to have correct values for the 4 cardinal directions:
